TORONTO — NOT HOMESICK. A 9-year-old boy brought to Canada from the Dominican Republic for surgery nine months ago doesn't want to go home. For Domingo Monteiro home is the village of Higuey, where he supported his mother and eight brothers and sisters by begging. Crippled by a serious infection that left both hips partly dislocated when he was two, Domingo lived with his family in a tiny house that had no running water or electricity. Domingo is scheduled to leave the hospital in about a month and will fly back to the Dominican Republic later this fall.
